Template:Mbox The string-inserter Template:Strloc_insert inserts a string into another string at a specified location, or appends it at the end.

Usage

{{Strloc insert|<string1>|strloc=<n>|<string2>}}

Returns string1 with string2 inserted at location strloc=n, where n=1 denotes the start of the string (prepending). If strloc <= 0 then string2 is appended at the end of string1. The parameter strloc can be a math formula, such as: strloc={{{len}}}-2, or strloc=abs(-2*5)+6.

Examples

The following show various uses:

Note, the example wikilinking "Out of Africa" inserted "</i>" as end-italics,
but with strloc=17+20 to skip farther in the "[[ ]]" wikilink string.
In the example with "Cosmos (book)" the number for strloc was set by finding "(" in the
title. If there had been no "(" then the result would append "</i>" at the end of the title.

Limitations

The text at the end (after string2) is subject to the limitations of Template:Str_right. Spaces around the inserted string are limited to 1 space, before or after:

Spaces beyond the inserted string might be encoded as "&#32;" rather than being real spaces.
